Troy Aikman and Joe Buck Criticize Giants for Saquon Barkley Decision on MNF
The ESPN broadcasters mocked the Giants' choice to release Barkley, now thriving with the Eagles, while keeping and later releasing Daniel Jones.
- During the Ravens-Chargers Monday Night Football broadcast, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck took time to critique the Giants' handling of Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones.
- Barkley, now with the Eagles, is having an MVP-caliber season and leads the NFL in rushing yards, including a record-setting 255-yard performance against the Rams on Sunday.
- The Giants, struggling at 2-9, released quarterback Daniel Jones last week, leaving them without either of the two players central to their offseason decisions.
- A clip from HBO’s 'Hard Knocks' resurfaced during the broadcast, highlighting Giants owner John Mara's regret over the possibility of Barkley joining the Eagles, which has now become a reality.
- The Giants replaced Barkley with Devin Singletary, whose production has fallen short, while Barkley is on pace to break the NFL single-season rushing record.
